ncparture In Sleeping Carr.

The charges upon sleeping cars have always been 50 large that they should have covered the service of attendants as well as the use of berth. Yet every ccnerOus minded person has felt under s moral obligation tO fee the porter because he knew that the porter's employers gave him So small wages that unless the passen- gers came to his rescue he would be shame Fllly uuderpaid The Wisconsin Central Railroad company has just announced new departure in this matter. lt has decided to increase the pay of the porters and walters employed on it's sleeping and dining cars to an amount which will give them ample compensation for their work and prohibit them from receiving tip" from passengers. Orders have been issued to them tO receive no money from any passenger except for blacking shoes, ''when red1ested' to do SO, for which service they are permitted Co accept ten cents. This is practical way of dealing with the fee problem and is the only prac- tical way.-New York Mail and Express

The Result in New Jersey.

A reliable report to the Tribune from
Trenton says that result SO peculiar in many
aspect. that of the election in New Jersey
on Tuesday last calls for some consideration.
When Camden county returns a Democratic
senator and Monmouth Republican, when
Passaic elects a Democratic sheriff, and an
Assembly with thirty-seven Republicans out
of sixty is chosen it is apparent that unusual
agencies were at work Primarily. the great
influence upon the election was the misbess
haved Legislature of last year. The rutfianism
of the Assembly in 1887 was not defended
was not defensible, and it was known and
acknowledged in every Assembly District.
Nothing but extraordinarily good Democratic
nominations and great labor would have given
that party even a large minority representa-
ton. Neither occurred, and wherever the
adverse majority was not too great and the
nominee was "A representative of the Demo
Gratis who were dominant in the last House,
the Republicans won. The public rebuke
was undeniably emphatic.
In this preliminary contest for the Legis-
lature of 1889 which will elect a United
States Senator, the most remarkable feature
is the substantial defeat of Senator McPher-
son. The loss of Somerset and Union is a
crushing blow to him. On the other hand
the loss of Monmouth is fatal to the Blodgett-
Little combination. Ex-Governor Abbott
also suffered by the loss of Assemblymen in
Hudson.
The Prohibition vote was reduced last
Tuesday from last years figures, and the
Indications are that this tide is stemmed in
New Jersey. A high license bill will prob
ably be passed by the next Legislature.

THE SENATE AND SECRETARY
LAMAR
The Judiciary Committee May Hesitate
to Admit Him to the Supreme Court

WAsHISGToS,. Nov. I3.--The Democratic
papers published here to-day assert that there
is no doubt of Secretary Lamar's appoint
ment as Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court This is the universal impression in
Washington. One of the newspapers as
serts that Republican Senator has within a
day or two assured Mr.. Lamar that there will
be no doubt of his confirmation without re-
ference TO ssthe Judiciary Committee The
name of the Republican Senator is not given.
Thirteen years ago a caucus of Republican
Senators was thrown into confusion, al
though Roscoe Conkling was in command,
when it was shown that Caleb Gushing. whose
name had been sent 10 the Senate by a Re-
publican President and who throughout the
war supported the Union cause, had in the
beginning of the Rebellion given to friend
letter of introduction addressed 10 'Presi-
dent Jefferson Davis" That ended Mr..
Cushing's chances for place on the Supreme
bench. Republican Senators, a. well a.

and now comes Mr.. Lamar. In his autobi-
ography he says:
lin 1868 was intrusted by President Davis
with an important diplomatic mission to
Russia
Within half dozen years, in the Senate of
the [ nited States, this same Mr.. Lamar,
with great ferocity declared that no man. in
his presence, should call jefferson Davis a
traitor. Times have changed, indeed. since
1874, if Republican Senator feels impelled
voluntarily to go to Mr.. Lamar and assure
him that he shall be confirmed as an Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court without even
the formality of a reference to the judiciary

Literary Notices.

Messrs. Lee and Shepard, the well-known
publishers, are preparing 10 put some books
into the market for the coming holidays
which shall eclipse any which have gone
before. We have received several of these
volumes. and it certainly seems as if the
preparation of them must have nearly ex-
hausted the art of printers, engravers and
binders. The artistic and delicate finish of
these works, as well as the works of the dis
tinguished poets, which they present with
superb illustrations, specially adapt them for
holiday gifts. One of the most exquisite of
the beautiful volumes before us is Faith :
Festivals" by Mary Lakeman; the cover is
white with beautiful gilt ornamentation. The
work is beautifully written in strong chris
tian spirit. and will make IA welcome visitor
to any home
Another valuable book which has Just been
issued by this firm is the Ca Ira :" or Danton
in the French revolution, a study by Lau-
renee Gronlund, \. VI. The picture of this
conspicuous figure in that rapidly changing
and important epoch of French history is
drawn with the hand of master. Ii is faith
full both in its delineation of the character of
the man and the age in which he lived.
There are few periods in the history of
man which the student of republican govern
ment can examine with more profit than this.
Ii was undoubtedly the most important period
in French history and the one most crowded
with events. 1t was the birth of republican
government--the springing into life of the
seed sown in Europe by the American revo-
luton. 1t was the time when the terrible
Partisan mob became for the first
time cognizant of its power. When royalty
was forced to groyel at the feet of the people

rapid succession in France, and no monarch
i'll Europe felt secure upon his throne. The
events of this period so potent in the affairs
of Europe are concisely and admirably told
by Mr.. Gronlund in this little volume and we
heartily commend it to the attention of parents
who are considering what it would be best to
give their boys at Christmas time.
The entertainment line of books is well
provided for by recent speakers and dialect
recitations edited by George NJ. Baker These
little volumes are admirably adapted for their
purpose and we predict that they will be de-
servedly popular.
The rage for small volumes of illustrated
poems is well supplied by the daintest little
series imaginable, bound in rich old gold,
with bronze ornamentation. The engravings
in these little volumes are beautiful both in
conception and execution. The poems
selected are the most familiar and moving of
those written by the great English and Ameri-
can poets.
But by far the most beautiful of the book
which have come to our table is The Bridal
of Triermain" by Sir Walter Scott, beauti-
fully illustrated by Percy Macquod. 1t is a
superb work of art. The large full page
engravings alone are worth the price of the
book, while the poem is one which needs no

There is nothing more annoying to man
kind than ilegible hand writing. 1t seems to
have been the case---0ften referred to---that
genius throughout the ages, has been more or
less in the custom of expressing itself in
scrawls. This was the misfortune of genius,
however, and we will wager considerable
that it never felt called upon to brag about
it. There are editors and compositors who
long ago passed to the other shore, but who
might have been in the world to-day, if they
had never been tortured by poor pcnmanship.
OF late years a poor handwriting has come
to be considered the characteristic of the pro-

The intelligent Washington correspond
ent Of the Tribune says:
II hear that the brief prepared by Mr..
Thobe's counsel in his contest for the seat for
for which Mr.. Carlisle holds the certificate of
election is giving some of the lstter's friends
a good deal of uneasiness. According to the
precedents set forth in the brief il appears
that only one can be found in Mr.. Carlisle 5
favor against long array cited in favor of
Mr.. Thobe from the first session of the lid
Congress down TO the present time. In GER
tain addenda 10 the brief, too, is found pas
sage which / hear, is disquieting to the ex-
Speaker and his friends. This passage is
nothing less than a strong suggestion that
Mr. Carlisle's defeat which he himself ad-
mtted on the night of election day, was turn
ed into victory or an apparent victory By
certain changes on the face of the returns.
II seems to be limited that certain changes
were made after the returns left the hands of
the precinct officers. OF course it seems
almost incredible that such means should
have been resorted to to save the distinguished
eK-Speaker but il must be considered that
the emergency great and that Thobe is
only greasy mechanic" | hear that the
other men elected to Congress as labor men,
who owe their election to the labor vote
such men, for example, as Savage, of Con-
necticut. and some others---will take a lively
interest in Thobe's contest for his seat.
Carlisle, who was so revolutionary in
some of his methods in the last Congress,
will be- equal to his necessities at the com
ing session. When not in stress he will
be fair and plausible, as Southern demo
crat il wont to be. Even Lamar is just that
